I thought I read that Max Verstappen could never be beaten as the youngest race winner because the age requirement for F1 was increased - But now Kimi Antonelli is here. Am I remembering something wrong?
Merc had an exception for Kimi from the FIA. I think in Kimis case it looks to be valid, as it would for Max if he was joining now at the same age as Kimi, but Lance would have also needed the exception if joining now at the same point and he shouldn't have had one at that age. I do not mind exceptions if they are true talents like Kimi and Max but that has to be enforced.

Ah, thank you
Kimi's last chance to grab Max's record of youngest race winner was this weekend in Suzuka, I think?
FIA seem to be more open these days to handing out exemptions to young drivers, though. Red Bull have already asked for an exemption for Lindblad, so Max's record could theoretically still be taken yet.
Thanks
